After years of secrecy, Congress has voted to compel the release of the Justice Department’s files on Jeffrey Epstein — sending the legislation to President Trump’s desk. The House passed the measure by an overwhelming margin, and the Senate followed with unanimous consent. On paper, the Epstein files are closer to public release than ever before.

But serious questions remain.

Historian Dr. Allan Lichtman and Sam Lichtman break down what this vote really means, why survivors are still demanding full transparency, and why legal loopholes could delay — or block — the release altogether. Even with bipartisan support, the Department of Justice may withhold large portions of the records by citing ongoing investigations, executive privilege, or national security concerns.

As Epstein survivors speak out and pressure mounts on the Trump administration, this moment raises critical issues about accountability, justice, and whether powerful figures will ever face real scrutiny. Will the Epstein files finally be released in full — or is this another political maneuver that stops short of the truth?
